An Ultraviolet Moon Shines on the Wall Street Journal

Yes, that bastion of conservatism, the Wall Street Journal, which, like most bastions of conservatism, does not support conservation — is singing a different tune today (“ultraviolet moon”). They have actually published an article calling for the more efficient use of electricity titled, “Less Power to the People” (a subscription is required — but I’m sure you’re go to want to own the collector’s edition).

This article even contains the sentence “Conservation seems a much more feasible solution than quickly building dozens of new power plants to add generating capacity — especially if reducing emissions is a goal.” What a concept — reducing emissions.

A blue moon is a rare event — two full moons in one month. An ultraviolet moon is rarer still — when conservatives contemplate conservation to reduce emissions.
